This article presents an experimental study of how the transition from mild to severe running conditions of a lubricated sliding steel contact depends on surface texture anisotropy and boundary layers formation. An experimental series was performed on a lubricated sliding ball-on-disc test machine with the capability to make quick but controlled transient single-pass tests. The test discs were finely...
The initial sliding wear of boundary lubricated piston rings used in a hydraulic motor is studied in terms of the changes in mass, form and surface roughness. The piston ring in a hydraulic motor makes an important contribution to high volumetric efficiency by properly sealing the cylinder bore and piston. The results show that the wear on the piston ring in this particular test rig takes place at...
To achieve reliable replication of a flat tool surface through a metalforming process with nanometer-scale surface roughness, a wedge tool was indented and slid under a constant normal load. In a workpiece finished with abrasive paper, some of the initial valleys remain on the tested surface, though at the boundary contact area the surface roughness is as small as that of the tool. The final surface...
A modelling framework has recently been developed which considers tribochemistry in deterministic contact mechanics simulations in boundary lubrication. One of the capabilities of the model is predicting the evolution of surface roughness with respect to the effect of tribochemistry. The surface roughness affects the behaviour of tribologically loaded contacts and is therefore of great importance...
